I too see an immediate posting on one of my credit cards for transactions, and for at least that card those get slightly adjusted within a business day to, I guess, reflect the final exchange rate actually used, so the original posting is clearly an "estimate".
If you are using a BofA Visa debit card, be aware of the November 2013 change from 0 to 3% FTF and the non-global alliance $5 ATM fee.
